TRANSCRIPT
Todd: OK, Mark, we've been
talking about places that you've traveled, things that you have
done. What about
people that go to your country, England? Can you recommend three or four
good places to go to
in England?
Mark: Right. Well,
obviously, most people should visit London. Personally, I don't like London.
It's too busy and too
expensive.
Todd: But, wait a minute,
you're saying that people should visit it but you don't like it. Why?
Mark: They should visit it
because you have to go once to see all the famous places such a Big
Ben, Trafalgar Square,
Buckingham Palace, just to say you've been, but if you arrive in London,
I'd say spend maybe
one or two days there and then move and you can move to cheaper
places. My favorite
place in England is in the North of England. It's called the Lake District.
Todd: The Lake District.
Mark: Yeah, it is very, very
beautiful.
Todd: So, I take it there's
many lakes.
Mark: That's right. There's
got to be about twenty or thirty lakes up there and the scenery's
beautiful. Famous for
Peter Rabbit. Do you know Peter Rabbit?
Todd: Yeah, the fairy tale.
Mark: That's right. The
children's character. Yeah. The writer, Beatrice Potter, she was born in
the Lake District, so
that's how she got her inspiration.
Todd: So if you go the Lake
District, now are you talking about camping or do you stay in a like
a bed-and-breakfast,
or?
Mark: Yeah, you can stay in
a bed-and-breakfast. You can camp. You can stay in pubs or inns,
or there are many
hotels. It's very organized for the tourists in the Lake District. Yeah, and
it's
not such a big area,
so you can travel around there by bus, or by car pretty easy. Yeah.
Todd: OK, so that's two.
Anymore?
Mark: Actually, I've never
been but I'd probably recommend Scotland, but I've never been. But
Edinburgh Castle is
very famous. Also, York. The city of York, in Yorkshire is very beautiful as
well. That was famous
for the Vikings in the olden days, so it has a beautiful big cathedral and
all the old viking
walls, so if you like history then England is a beautiful place to visit. There
are
many places. You have
Stratford-upon-Avon for Shakespeare, Oxford which is a famous
university city, so if
you like history then England is great.
Todd: OK, well, sounds good.
Thanks, Mark.
